Council approves log cabin at Park House Farm after it was deemed lawful due to its long presence.
Andrea Robinson owns the cabin, which has stood there for over ten years. She uses it for security, considering it like a little home.
The council made their decision on February 24th after looking at proof. This proof showed the cabin has been there for years, making it immune to action.
The notice stated that the cabin is lawful because it has been there for over ten years, so the council won’t take any action.
Mrs. Robinson got advice and applied for a certificate to prove its lawfulness. The certificate concerned what already existed.
A receipt helped her case, showing Hi-Line Transport moved the cabin from Appleby in June 2013 to Park House Farm.
Council tax records also helped, showing someone living there from 2014 to 2015 while the main house was being rebuilt. It was later removed from tax lists in 2016.
Records confirm the cabin’s use, showing it has been there since at least 2013. This makes it lawful under the law.
Nobody objected to the cabin during a public review.
The council granted a certificate because evidence verified the cabin’s long presence. It has been there over ten years.
The farm deals with planning; the cabin sits at Park House Farm, a semi-detached property.
The council approved an extension in 2012 and split it into two homes. More changes got approved in 2014.
In 2016, they rebuilt it and gained permission after doing so.
The cabin is in a field, northeast of the main house. The cabin has been a part of the farm for years.
Mrs. Robinson lives in the cabin often to watch the farm buildings. She wants to prevent crime.
